Amazon Now Sells A Tablet That Costs Just $159

Amazon has unveiled a new, more powerful
version of its Kindle Fire 7-inch tablet and cut the price to
$159.

The biggest news in this update appears to be a price-cut, which
undercuts Google's 7-inch tablet, the Nexus 7, by about $40. That
makes it one of the cheapest tablets on the market, and a pretty
good deal for the specifications.

The new device looks identical to the old one, but it sports
better, more powerful guts, including a faster processor that
makes the tablet run "40 percent faster."

The new tablet will be available September 14, and you can order
it today.

The Kindle Fire runs a "forked" version of Android that has a custom interface built by
Amazon, as well as other goodies like streaming from Amazon
Prime.

It also has a longer battery life and twice as much RAM, which
will make it better at multitasking and running apps.
